Formula Vee..... Simply complex. :-) ..So cool!
indeed thanks Johnny!
@@VWLifeVW thanks for sharing
🤘😁👍🇺🇸
Most people don’t understand “The Race Fan”!! So glad you guys showed the nitty gritty of a race weekend at the track🏁…Been doing it since 1968 and it never gets old!
You were talking about the Formula 5000 class, that was a great race series with some of the best drivers. I remember being at Road America and Michigan Int. Speed Way in 1973 for the races. What Fun! Great Video!
ah okay cool thanks!
Gary and Matt...I spotted one of my favorite old muscle cars at 5:11..a red white and blue AMX...I love those cars...don't get me wrong I love vw's but I had a couple of AMX's in my younger days...Dave
well that's great! we love almost all motor sports that's why we shared the gambit!
You fellas know how to ENJOY (VW) LIFE!
we try!
I worked CVAR races for many years. Loved it. Old cars with young and old drivers. Men and women racing side by side. Exciting fun.
Thanks for sharing!
So many beautiful pieces of art! Love Gary's excitement.
yes indeed :)
Such a great episode!!! I can't wait until this spring to get myself a Karman ghia
Now thats what I call stripped back motor racing, far more exciting than the top end racing !!!
that's right! on a budget
Vogan's bike is rad as hell.
indeed!
Boy did that bring back some memories! In the early 80’s we would go the the SCCA Runoffs at Road Atlanta. I loved the FV class. Most drivers were just as friendly as Nick was to y’all! Back then that was the largest class with up to 75 cars. At the Runoffs all classes run by themselves. No mixing of cars.
Great video guys! Glad you had fun!😁
thanks Terry! yeah we will back next year :)
Great video guys! Greetings from Bakersfield, Ca.
Hello there!
Thank you so very much for sharing! Awesome and so much fun there. Always enjoy the love it! 👍😍
Thank you 🤗
Muy vonito video Amigos. Saludos
gracias!
Now that looks fun! Hearing about the Formula Vee Cars was fun
yes indeed!
Hi I used to work for a company called volkspears and big boy toys in England, the managing director of the company used to race in Formula V until he had a bad crash he also part sponsored one of our mechanics who raced in The Beetle cup, all the beetles ran 1641cc and made for some close racing and fun, I do miss my Beetle being on the road.👍👍👍
very cool! do you have a beetle? get that thing on the road again!
@@VWLifeVWHi yes I do I have a 74 standard, unfortunately it's in bits I started on a rebuild a couple of years ago and found that the former owner had welded the body to the floor pan his attempt to do repairs, plus the body work is full of filler it's like a sieve, but unfortunately I fell seriously ill over a year ago and have only just gone back to work this month, my life has had a big change no money to get beetle back on the road so it's on hold for the moment awaiting better days.👍👍
Thanks for bringing us along. Vw's and good times! Have a great thanks giving.
Thanks, you too!
Love my racing and I love my Volkswagens, and I love this video, great job guys, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! post a picture of it on our facebook page - facebook.com/VWLifeVW/
Well that was a ton of fun to watch on a Thanksgiving morning! Thankful for VW Life! Happy Turkey Day!! 🦃🍽🍁
Glad you enjoyed it
Last century F/Vee was extremely popular here in Australia, grids of 40 plus. Not so much now as people have track day cars and other new classes. I guess a lot are sitting in sheds covered in dust.
yeah hopefully there is a resurrection one day!
18:10. Dig the guy with the shirt that matches his van. Awesome plus!
ha ha, that's el bretto and it's just a coincidence that the van next to us matched his shirt. that's funny didn't even notice :)
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Thanks for the video.
Thank you brother same to you!
you guys are great, love the video
You rock!
Happy Thanksgiving guys, it's nice to see vintage race cars in action. We had 2 formula vees at our car show this year. I didn't know that the bodys were not standard. Nice interview with Nick, learned alot. Plus the cooking out makes the trip complete
Peace
yeah lots of cool stuff with the formula vee's! thanks John
That looked like so much fun! Great episode! I had no idea that Formula Vees were even a thing!
cool glad we were able to turn you onto them! i think a lot of people have no idea they even existed, yet they are soooo cool
@@VWLifeVW where does a guy buy a chassis.
@@drmachinewerke1 start here! facebook.com/groups/formulaveeracingusa
@@VWLifeVW sorry I do not use Facebook I’ll have to find a schedule somewhere.
First thing I looked for 21 years ago on a pc was Super vee racing. It did not go to a car web site.
Now retired and wanting to check it out. Never see anything in Missouri.
Great video matt jackson
Thanks!
Great cars, great video and a lot of fun to watch! Thanks guys and Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Looking forward to the day when I can get the 69 roadworthy and joining the fun.
Happy holidays! get it on the road
I’ve always wanted to race a VW based racer! Thanks for the video!!
yeah looks like fun!
great stuff , looks like ya all had a great time thanks for the video brilliant
Glad you enjoyed it
awesome day
Yes it was!
Very cool
good day!
Just love it😀
thanks Erik!
Great filming as usual, free tyres??? What on earth are you going to do with them! I am intrigued! Here we have to pay to get rid of used tyres! Greetings from the UK!
Good question! tire swings and possibly other car owners that might need used racing tires. also cool for man cave decor.
True VW enthusiasts, O look free spent formula tires!, Now what can I do with them, who cares I just want them. ;-)
exactly!
Really fun video! When will VW Life build a formula V? What happened to the VW merch?
www.bonfire.com/store/vwlife/. We want to race them, might happen
I see a lot of people never knew about Formula Vees. Look on TH-cam SCCA Runoffs 2020. They ran at Road America. There are some great in car camera ride alongs. Watch it guys.
will do thanks!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤛 Big hug from friend Marcos Polux Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
thanks!
This is the kind of car I want to build but front engine modern 4 banger with a turbo and independent rear suspension from a cougar xr7 or some other car and probably simple front suspension maybe custom all around but just simple and effective basically
If you can drive a Vee fast, you can drive anything fast. They handle like crap compared to other open wheel cars, shit brakes cause of skinny tires, have no horsepower, which makes you smooth in corners, draft is the big equalizer. Built my own Warrior, won Canadian championship, Ontario championship. The best experience ever.
good insight thanks! got a picture of it? post it on our facebook page. - facebook.com/VWLifeVW/
What you gonna do with them tires?
Sell them
Formula Vee , when the RICHEST guy didn't always win
exactly!
